Strong's Lexicon sukkah: Booth, Tabernacle, Hut, Shelter Original Word: סֻכָּה Word Origin: From the root סָכַךְ (sakak), meaning "to cover" or "to shelter." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G4633 σκηνή (skēnē) - tent, tabernacle - G4634 σκηνοπηγία (skēnopēgia) - the Feast of Tabernacles Usage: The term "sukkah" refers to a temporary shelter or booth, often constructed from branches and leaves. It is most commonly associated with the Feast of Tabernacles (Sukkot), a biblical festival during which the Israelites were commanded to dwell in booths for seven days as a reminder of their ancestors' journey through the wilderness after the Exodus from Egypt. Cultural and Historical Background: The sukkah is a central element of the Jewish festival of Sukkot, which commemorates the Israelites' 40-year journey in the desert. During this time, they lived in temporary shelters, relying on God's provision and protection. The festival is one of the three major pilgrimage feasts in the Jewish calendar, during which Israelites were to travel to Jerusalem. The sukkah symbolizes both the fragility of life and the security found in God's presence.
